Between schoolboy humor and funny situationsthe couple alternately stealing a police car then a plane, the film offers us a crazy comedy that has captured the hearts of the public. Unlike his previous film A perfect plan, recounting an improbable love story, the film focuses on an offbeat tone which avoids falling too much into caricature. The war between the two characters, made up of successive low blows, gives rhythm to the feature film without the viewer having time to get bored.
Why rediscover this comedy on Netflix?
Between two slices of log or frozen nougat, you might want to take a break. What's better than enjoying a movie from your couch, with the whole family? This will be an opportunity to rediscover the first steps in the cinema of Malik Bentalha in the role of a friend of Cécile, the daughter of Alain and Valérie. Denis Ménochet in the role of Ezékiel, captain of a bus called “the ark of God” is also worth the detour. This comedy also highlights the undeniable comedic talent of Danny Boon, who has since directed other similar stories like Supercondriaque or Crazy raid which we also hope to find one day on Netflix.
